Grids are not the same as grid frameworks. It sounds to me you mixing these

I think you've put your finger on it here. I asked the wrong question. It
should have been
'Grid frameworks: what's all the fuss about'. But I wouldn't have asked that question because
I'm not a devotee of frameworks (doubtless to my detriment, but I prefer first principles. I can
always copy my own frameworks).
You don’t need a framework in order to use grids. All you need is the ability
to choose and
use grids as a concept and a tool. That’s all you need.
I'm an engineer by background (civil by training, mechanical from practice),
not a 'designer'
(whatever that may mean). My designs tended to be rectilinear so I was a natural user of grids
even before I took up web design.
It had just never occurred to me to create all those 1/12 size columns in CSS
and I wanted to
find out more. I think I have now. To misquote J Caesar: I came, I saw, I went
away.
Thanks for your help.
